Howdy, I'm interested in shooting steel. I've never heard that satisfying "PING" yet. I'm wondering if there are places, maybe the Evergreen Shooting Club has steel, nearby where I can find a place to shoot steel plates. Or if I should just buy some steel plates and head somewhere into the forest?

There is a large steel target at ESC on the rifle range, but at this point it's pretty tired. However, ESC will let you use your own targets, so I'd encourage you to buy steel targets and take them to ESC.

I have one plate left and have a design to make it last longer. Should be able to get it done by spring.

Yeah Matt, I suspect you're just goofing around.... I think that original plate has set some kind of world record; I've never seen a piece of AR500 bend like that!

Now time to find some. :)
